CAN'T POSSIBLY BE INNOCENT

This is what the lberville Democrat
has to say:
Wouldn't the Attorney General be
doing the proper thing by adding to the
charges existing against eXSecretary
of State, Will A. Strong, that of per
jury9 Nearly all the parties he named
in his affidavit sometime ago as owing
him for election paper, have fatty and
emphatically denied the allegation and
stand ready to sustain their denlals by
competent witnesses. 1t is the current
belief that Mr.. Strong filed this atfida
vit-after his plea of prescription had
been overruled by an honest Judge
for the purpose of gaining time and al
lowing the matter to drop from the at
tention of the public so he can finally
have the matter nolle pressed and go
scot free But, we will tell Mr.. Strong,
if he entertains such an idea, that he is
most egregiously mistaken, for the
new spapers, those never-failing guar
dians of the peoples interests, will see
that the matter is kept fresh in the
mind Of the public, and when the day
for the trial of Mr.. Strong arrives they
will see that he has it or will find out
why. There must be no mlnclng OF
matters in this now notorious case.
Evenhanded justice must be meted out:
If Mr.. Strong is innocent, let a jury OF
his countrymen so declare, il he Is
guilty, let him he convicted and given
the full extent of the law All the sur
rounding circumstances considered, we
find no tenable grounds for expressing
the belief that Strong is an innocent

THE WAY IT HAPPENED.
EllerVille South,

Alfred Jewell, charged with stealing
chickens, was brought in the Court
room last Tuesday to answer to the
charge. He waived trial and consid-
erately informed the Judge that he did
not desire to trouble him with his case,
and plead guilty.
When he was asked by the Judge if
he had anything to say before sentence
was passed on him, he replied in the
affirmative. Said he:
was at George Johnson's Office in
Bayou Goula the night the chickens
were stolen. was invited by the
Justice of the Peace to take drink of
very bad whisky. Afterwards | helped
myself from the jug until it was
snatched from my mouth by said john
son. just before lost hold of the jug
a little boy came into the office and said
that they had no chickens for the gum
DO. The Judge told him to go with mt
and could find all the chickens he
wanted. did find the chickens; the
gumbo was served at the fair, and |
now await my reward. y
The sentence was one year in the
Penitentlary.

What True Merit will Do.

The unprecedent sale of Eoschcc 5
German Syrup within Il few years, has
astouiShed the world. lt is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and ettectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lnng Troubles. Ii acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual PIE
scriptions given by physicians, as it
does not dry up a cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy coDdi-
ton. A bottle kept in tile house for
use when these diseases make their ap-
pearance, will save doctors bills and a
long spell of serious illness. 4 trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers i'll the land. Price -

HAD NO INFLUENCE WITH THE
GOVERNOR.

The Farmerville Gazette, comment
ing on the fact that the Governor was
accustomed to make appointments in
West Carroll parish solely on the rec
ommendation of Simon Witkowski,
says:
Hon. w. W. Heard, Representative
Of Union parish, elected by the popular
vote of the people, would like to have
the same question answered. He rec
commended good man to fill vacancy
and had the support of Senator G. l..
Gaskins, but when the Legislature met
the Governor did not seek Mr.. Heard's
counsel, but without his knowledge
sent to the Senate another name to fill
the vacancy. The gentleman who was
appointed is good man and no one can
object to him, and the same can be said
of the appointee recommended by Mr..
Heard. But it is not the men, it is the
principle involved. The public want to
know if the recommendation OF the
popular representative of the people
can be overshadowed, by other intiu-
enceS.

The following story was told at the
New England dinner: There was an
old preacher once who told some boys
of the Bible lesson he was to read in
the morning. The boys, finding the
place, glued together the connecting
pages. The next morning he read on
the bottom of one page: When
Noah was 120 years old he took unto
himself wife who was'-tben turning
the page" 140 cubits long, 40 cubits
vide, built Of gopher , wood and 2 co. covered rec

again, verified it, and then said: my
friends, this is the first time | ever met
this in the Bible, but accept it as evil
dence of the assertion that we are fear
fully and wonderfully made"

Prophets.
Lynn Union.

The country is overrun with prophets
who have not made Il success in life.
There has been no systematic study
given to the art. of prophesying, and
the large number of broken down
prophets is due to our defective system
of education. The only safe way to
become successful prophet is to wait
patiently until after the event has trans
pired and then declare that you fore
told it two years before. This was the
way that Wiggins made his reputation,
He only failed when lie fOolishly at
tempted prophesying events i'll the

A new fuel is thus described !:

A citizen of Pocahontas, Ia, has in
vented new fuel which bids fair to
take the place of coal in prairie coun-
tries. He grinds cornstalks and coarse
prairie grass together and moistens
them. This pulp is pressed into blocks
about twelve inches long and four
inches thick and dried. One block will
give an hours steady heat. This fuel
can be produced for 80 ton, and the
inventor claims that it will last twice as
long as the best soft coal.

Saws the Feliciana Patriot Democrat

Says the Feliciana Patriot Democrat :
The evidence taken in the District
Court. in Baton Rouge, last week, on
the trial of the plea of prescription, III
the case against ex- Secretary of State
Strong, showed that the Governor and
other principal officers of the State
knew of the defalcation of the accused
as far back as 1884. The pestiferous ''
Pic deserves the credit of having ex-
posed the alleged steal to the knowledge
of the public and of being the cause of
the present prosecution. Some people,
however, deem it piece of imperti-
nence in the press to expose the ras-
cality of officials. 1t is better, from
their view that ninety nine guilty men
escape, and license be granted to others
to follow in their footsteps with i'm
punity, rather than the fair name of
the State be injured by the revelation
of their crimes.

Dangers of Ignorance.

The Washington National Republican makes
the figures we presented the other day, rela-
tive to the illiteracy prevailing 10 Louisiana,
the basis of strong and powerful appeal TO
Congress for an appropriation for educationai
purposes.
The Republican answers the query abont
the constitutional right of the government to
set aside money for the public schools with
the following strong point:
If the Federal government has right to
exist, it has right to protect IT'S me. me
great fundamental law of selfpreservatlon
not only iustifies but demands Federal aid to
education in the States.
There are Congressman and papers that
would have this country without defense,
either from within or without, from foreign
or native enemies from the fleets OF Europe
or the dense ignorance facing as IN certain
portions of the country. The South had some
experience of this ignorance; learned what
IL was to have the government in the hands
of darkness and illiteracy. Surely, with this
experience, the South will try to cheek
it's further growth. The Democrat mas
pointed out that here and elsewhere in the
Soutb ignorance is in an absolute majority
is growing in strength and numbers. ls
nothing to he done to check it Is the very
life of the nation to be sapped? Are its at

Party Harmony.
Ruston Caligraph.

RuStOn Callgfaph.
The fact should not be lost sight of in the
present political discussion in this
State that party harmony and peace in the
family is more to be desired than the success
Of any individual cand idate. The Democratic
party of the State is torn asunder by fraction
al division which, if not healed, will soon sink
the party into oblivion. We cannot continue
in power much longer with tho party divi'ass
as it has been for the past four years. I-pe-
rience and common sense teach us this, and it
we persist in disregarding both we do not de-
serve to stand The last State election de-
monstrated the disintegrating tendency OF
the party, which was traceable directly to
the factional spirit which prevailed to great
extent then and to greater extent now.
This spirit prevailed to such an extent as 20
seriously jeopardize the success OF the State,
and did really defeat it in some parishes.
The Democratic party cannot afford to run
any more such risks. We risk nothing IN
saying that if party harmony is not restored
before the adjournment OF the next state
Convention, the success OF the ticket placed
in the field will be seriously imperiled, il the
ticket is not defeated outright. IL the supre'
macy Of the Democratic party il. the State IS
worth preserving, it is worth the concession
necessary to procure harmony. There is no
gainsaying the proposition, that unless har-
mony is restored in the Democratic ranks its
success at th next election will be extreme
ly doubtful, except by a resort to methods to
be condemned by all honest peoples which
methods it is to be hoped the party will steer
clear of in tho future, if it wonld maintain its
responsibility and keep within its ranks the
most respectable element of the voting popu
lation of the State.
The Republicans of the State will no doubt
put ticket in the field if the present breach
in the Democratic party is not healed before
the nomination of another candidate for Gov
ernor. Should the right kind OF men be plac.
ed upon the ticket, with the present discord
in the Democratic party, it would be difficult
to say which would win. Such calamity to
the Democratic party can be averted II the
must be restored to accomplish it, and bow to
restore it is the problem that should engage
the thoughts of the true friends of the party
until the object sought is accomplished.
